The Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) is the largest element of the intraseasonal (30- to 90-day) variability in the tropical atmosphere.

Dec 31, 2014 · The MJO consists of two parts, or phases: one is the enhanced rainfall (or convective) phase and the other is the suppressed rainfall phase. Strong MJO activity often …

6 days ago · The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is the major fluctuation in tropical weather on weekly to monthly timescales. The MJO can be characterised as an eastward moving 'pulse' …

Mar 7, 2025 · The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is known as the dominant mode of tropical intraseasonal variability and has an important role in the coupled-atmosphere system.

The MJO is characterized by eastward propagation of regions of enhanced and suppressed tropical rainfall, primarily over the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The anomalous rainfall is often …

The MJO is often visualised on a circular plot, with movement shown in an anti-clockwise direction. Each point on the plot corresponds to a specific day and represents the most active …

What is an MJO and how does it affect the weather? from Rol Madden and Paul Julian. Typically the convectively active stage of an MJO starts over the equatorial Indian Ocean and moves …

The Madden-Julian Oscillation is characterised by an eastward spread of large regions of enhanced and suppressed tropical rainfall, mainly observed over the Indian and Pacific Ocean.

Why do we care about the MJO? •The MJO is intellectually important: there’s a lot that we don’t understand about it so it’s a great area to research. •The MJO has direct and indirect sensible …

Sep 20, 2021 · The MJO produces a relatively coherent area of convection when traveling across the Indian Ocean and into the Pacific as far as the dateline. These are phases 2 through 7. …
